Cassava FinTech Partners With Mastercard To Develop Fintech Solutions To Boost Covid 19 Response

Cassava Fintech is collaborating with Mastercard to develop a travel pass, a digital health pass aimed at mitigating the risk of presenting falsified third party at access and transit points.

The travel pass is offered in conjunction with Africa Centre for Disease Control and Prevention or Africa CDC. The pass is accessible to users of Cassava FinTech’s Sasai Super App and is recognized as one of the leading initiatives in the fight against the cross-boarder spread of Covid 19 in Africa.

The partnership will be critical to enhance the security of Travel Pass through Mastercard’s Community Pass Platform which is an interoperable digital platform facilitating service delivery for marginalized individuals and communities thus including access to critical health services like patient care plan tracking for Covid 19.
